Verizon has the better cell tower and hence coverage, overall than the other two.
Just simply merging them together does not make them better. They will have to invest in the newer technology (does not imply they don't) and do something to address coverage.
When two companies merge there is a learning curve to determine where the redundancy and overlaps are and then do something about it. Then they will have to address the better coverage and other technology issues.
In the mean time Verizon will not be sitting idly by.
We use Verizon (14 years) because they have the very best coverage nation wide. We have always had service when others (including AT&T do not). And that is why we pay the higher price. Which I believe in time Verizon will address to get more of the lower priced market.
